I am hoping that SKS can assist me in finding the exact location of Thurman's Yard, Nottingham. I am fairly certain that it no longer exists. I believe that I have narrowed the search to the Finkhill and Orchard Streets area, in present day Maid Marion Way vicinity.   One sees references to Thurman's Yard in mid-19th century (and later) censuses and trade directories. Does anyone know if the entrance to this yard was off Finkhill, or more probably, Orchard Street?   What is the likelihood of consulting a map, viewable online, that would show this place. I recently downloaded the 1901 Ordinance Survey map for south Nottingham and it does not indicate Thurman's Yard.   Many thanks in advance, Vaughn Thurman in sunny (today) Ontario

Hi, I am interested in finding descendants of Matthew READ and Mary TIERMAN. Matthew was born in Balderton Sept 1788 son of Thomas READ and Anne BRAMBLEY. He married Mary 4th August 1814 in Balderton and I have five children for them. Ann 1815 Jane 1817 William 1820 Mary 1824 Thomas 1826 - I believe he died aged 1 month. I have two possible marriages for Ann but need to confirm them Nothing much on Jane except in the 1851 census unmarried living with her parents. I descend via William. Mary married William Stansell in 1847 - her father, her husband and father-in-law were all joiners. Witnesses to the marriage were Jane READ (sister probably) and a Peter READ - know nothing about this fellow. Really need some help to confirm details. Thank you Pat

The William Harrison I advised previously from the 1891 census is still the only one I can find that matches i.e. born 1882 in Nottingham. This may sound a silly question, but it's happened before, to me for example, but are you certain that you have the correct GGrandfather?

The Crown Inn you mention was built at the same time as the Ring Road and dates from the 1930s, so has no connection with Crown Yard.

I wondered if anyone on the list who lives in or near Rampton might be able to take a photo of the grave of my 5x gt- grandparents in Rampton churchyard. Thomas DOUGLAS died in 1817 and Elizabeth DOUGLAS died in 1828, both in Rampton. I have the MI so I know there is a grave (hopefully it's still legible). Thanks for any help.

David, On the 1891 census the family is living on Forster Street, Radford, and from this I can determine the name of your GGrandfather, which you didn't give in your request. He is William Harrison aged 35, hence born 1856. If you search on the 1881 census, which if you haven't got access to any of the subscription sites, is free on the LDS site, then you will find the family, this time with William's first wife, on Terrace Street, which is in Hyson Green. I don't have a large enough scale map to tell you where Crown Court was, but given that many children were born at a relative's house, especially a grandparent, then the place where the family was living may not indicate the birthplace.

Hello, I wondered if anyone might have access to information on my ancestor Robert COCKING who married a Dorothy [unknown surname] I would say about 1824 in the area of Tuxford and Weston, Nottinghamshire. I have concluded they are the parents of my ancestor, Thomas COCKING who was born in 1737. I have scanned through the Tuxford & Weston LDS films of parish/Bishops Transcripts without locating a marriage, or a baptism for Robert. I believe he was a Wheelwright. The info I have on their children is as follows: Notes on Robert Cocking & wife Dorothy: LDS IGI shows 4 baptisms in Nottinghamshire in correct time period, 2 in Tuxford, 2 in Weston, which is not far away. Two additional Baptisms also found. 1. 1725, 9 Apr, Weston, John, male, son of Robert Cocking & Dorothy. Film 504052 viewed Nov 2011. Robert is a Church Warden 2. 1727, 15 Jul, Weston, Robert, male, son of Robert Cocking & Dorothy. film # 504054. Viewed Nov 2011. Robert is a Church Warden 3. 1731, 7 Jul, Tuxford, George, male, son of Robert Cocking & Dorothy. Film 504052 viewed Nov 2011. 4. 1733, 16 Feb, Tuxford, William, son of Robert & Dorothy Cockayne. Film 504052, not in IGI, viewed Nov 2011. 5. 1737, 23 Feb.,Tuxford, Thomas, son of Robert & Dorothy Cockayne. Film 504052. Not in IGI. Viewed Nov 2011. 6. 1743, 11 Sept, Tuxford, Joseph, male, son of Robert Cocking & Dorothy. indexing proj: C05409-2, film # 504052. Viewed film 504052 Nov 2011. This would fit with all 4 of the Cocking brothers in our family, both for names and year of birth based on other records like census, or burials, plus 2 new ones Robert & George who may not have lived to have families. Additionally, Joseph named one of his daughters Dorothy, which does not seem like a very common name here. Also found Apprenticeship papers on Ancestry.com : - BULLEN_John, of Tuxford, Cordwainer, Geo Cocking son of Robert, 7 Jan 1750. From UK-Register-of-Duties-paid-for-apprentices-indentures-1710-1811. - COCKING_Wm, of Tuxford, Wheelwright, John FRITH, 15 Apr 1769. From UK-Register-of-Duties-paid-for-apprentices-indentures-1710-1811. - COCKING_Joseph, of Upton, Wheelwright, Jno BRETT, 7 May 1784. From UK-Register-of-Duties-paid-for-apprentices-indentures-1710-1811. Nov 2011. I am hoping to locate a marriage record, or any additional details on this couple. Thanks in advance, Jim Ward Cobble Hill, Canada

Thankyou to everyone who responded to my plea, and so quickly too Sooo sorry I forgot the year, yes I meant 1911census, some of you are great mind readers though. I must be getting older :) Again Thanks ever so much, Regards sharan

Sharan, We might need a year???? Have you tried Isa* Shr* or Isa* b18-- +/-5. You might also try Iso* Peter

Would someone be willing to find Adele Shrager 34yo, with Isabella 3yo and leonie 2yo at Elham kent on "find my Past" They are indexed on Find my Past but seem to be missing on Ancestry !! And of course only my ancestry subscription is current. I'm hoping Adele is a widow and her birth place may hint at a marriage to James Shrager Sorry this isnt strictly Notts, but any help is very much appreciated. Thankyou regards Sharan

Can anyone tell me where Crown Yard Radford was? My GGrandfather lived there in 1882 and my Grandfather William Allen Harrison was born there in that year. David Harrison

Hi Susan As they are transcribed on Ancestry 1861 England Census about Eliza Ceickmay Name: Eliza Ceickmay Age: 2 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1859 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: Edward Ceick Ceickmay Mother's name: Eliza Ceickmay Gender: Female Where born: London, Middlesex, England Civil parish: Clewer Ecclesiastical parish: Clewer St Andrew County/Island: Berkshire Country: England Registration district: Windsor Sub-registration district: Windsor ED, institution, or vessel: 16 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 135 Piece: 761 Folio: 113 Page Number: 24 Household Members: Name Age Edward Ceick Ceickmay 36 Eliza Ceickmay 26 Frederick Ceickmay 4 Eliza Ceickmay 2 RG 9; Piece: 761; Folio: 113; Page: 24; GSU roll: 542697.

From: Susan Fowler <[email protected]> > Good Morning > > I have found a death for Eliza Crickmay on BMD June Qtr of 1866 > > If I take out a subscription for Find My Past will it give me more > details? Like Mother & Father? > > Thanks > Susan > In Sunny Beaverton, Ontario> As Brian says, you will only get the details of who her parents were for certain by purchasing the birth certificate from the GRO for England & Wales, which you can do online. I note she was only 7 years old when she died in 1866. Therefore, she must be the Eliza Crickmay whose birth was registered at Westminster in the June quarter of 1859 (vol 1a page 256 - found with FreeBMD), However, if you look at the 1861 census at Findmypast I think you will find that the family has been mistranscribed as DICKMAY. I have looked at the image and I am certain the name is CRICKMAY. If I am right, then she was the daughter of Edward Crickmay, a tailor aged 36, and his wife Eliza, 26, and in 1861 they were living at Clewer, Berkshire, in the Windsor registration district. Eliza was aged 2, born 1859 at London Middlesex which would seem to fit. I feel it likely that this was her but I would advise you to get the birth certificate (or check Ancestry's London parish registers) if you want to be certain. The 1861 reference is: RG09 Piece 761, folio 113, page 24. There was also a son aged four called Frederick. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." OSCAR WILDE

Susan, You will only find her Mother's maiden name and her father's name on her birth certificate or her marriage certificate, both of which have to be applied for and paid for. You can find these details in a roundabout way by using census returns and birth and marriage information either from Free BMD or by subscribing to one of the commercial companies - Find my Past, or Ancestry. You would also need one of these databases to look up census details. It all depends on when your Eliza was born, and when and if she married, and to whom. Both the 1851 and 1861 censuses will give you either her parents forenames, their ages, and their place of birth, if she was still living with them. If she was married at that time, you will find her age, place of birth and the name of her husband. From this you could find a marriage. Don't forget that civil registration only came in from 1837, so as I have said, it all depends on her relative age as to whether or not her birth and/or marriage have been registered. Otherwise it is parish records and/or the I.G.I. From then on it is a question of searching records and building up the jigsaw puzzle. What you start with depends on Eliza's situation when she died. I have instances of ancestors dying in hospital with no next of kin recorded and the death being registered by the doctor. Often in these cases the age at the time of death is also a bit of a lottery. No doubt others on this list may well add more, or indeed correct me if I have got it a bit wrong.
